The Name of the Game


 

"The Name of the Game" is the first single from ABBA's album The Album, their fifth for Polar, and their fourth for Epic and Atlantic.

The song

"The Name of the Game," which carried the working title "A Bit of Myself," was the first song to be recorded for ABBA's fifth studio album. It was their most complex composition yet, and contained the influences of the laid-back California sound of the day.

A preliminary version of the song was worked into the 1977 feature film . The song had not yet reached its complete version, and people wondered whether the new album would be ready in time for the release of the movie, which was in December. When the song was eventually finished, it was released as the lead single from The Album, in October 1977.
